Hormann Rollmatic

Hormann Rollmatic Aluminium Roller Shutter Garage Door

The Hormann Rollmatic is an aluminium insulated roller shutter garage door constructed from the highest quality double skinned aluminium foam filled slats to produce a very strong, smooth finish curtain that is always purpose made to suit the garage opening perfectly. It is remote control electric operated as standard with control of the door using any of the enormous range of current Hormann control accessories.
Standard operation has 2 remote control handsets and an internal pushbutton on the control panel with integrated light.

The short video below shows the unique benefits of a Rollmatic garage door.

The RollMatic garage door from Hörmann provides plenty of space in front of and inside the garage. You can drive directly up to the door for parking and the ceiling area of the garage remains available. Made of high-quality corrosion-free aluminium, the RollMatic door profile is equipped with modern Hörmann operator technology as standard.

Why is it different?

The Hormann Rollmatic has been designed from the outset using the tried and tested technology of the existing Hormann low voltage 24V DC motor from their highly successful electric garage door operators.
The external motor drive means easier servicing and an easier emergency manual override system

Driving the roller door from the left hand side via a gear drive with tension spring balance on the other side the balance of the door is perfect. Manual override in a power failure is a simple pull cord release to then be able to open and close the door effortlessly rather than using a winding handle system.

The safety edge bottom sensor that is required for all other types of tube motor driven roller shutters is not required in a Hormann Rollmatic as it uses the same technology for detecting an obstruction as used in their garage door operators and is far more reliable long term.

It is also worth pointing out as we do in other parts of this website that an infra red beam is not a sufficient safety device on its own to comply with the regulations in the UK and many roller doors being sold with these devices are 'illegal'

The Rollmatic has an external fitted motor drive with a simple hand pull cord system to release the drive gear unit in the event of a power failure.

Simple and easy opening and closing is then possible with the door lifting perfectly balanced by the spring system with reconnecting simply carried out by placing the cord back in place. This is the simplest and easiest override system for a roller door of this type.

What is the standard Equipment?Everything is included in the basic package for most garage applications:

> Emergency exterior manual release
> Emergency Battery back up for operation in power failures
> Acoustic door alarm security kit
> Glazing sections (maximum of 10 in door) in slats

Decograin synthetic foil finishes in superb timber effect designs

The most recent innovation has to be the Decograin finishes which are attractive laminate foils applied to the outside face of the door curtain to simulate different attractive wood finishes. These are very effective and come with a 10 year guarantee. Two main woodgrain finishes are offered - Golden Oak and Rosewood, perfect for matching modern Upvc window and entrance door finishes.

Golden Oak

Rosewood

Please note: The inside of a Decograin curtain is always brown paint finish

High quality double skinned foam filled insulated aluminium slat provides strength and style. Glazed sections are also available as an option.
These sections are normally positioned above eye level for light but no comprimise on security from people seeing the inside of the garage.

What sizes are available?

The Rollmatic is supplied in any size required from 1900mm wide up to 5000mm wide (plus guides) and 1900mm high up to 3000mm high (restricted at 3500mm wide).

The door can be installed behind, inbetween or outside any structural opening and as mentioned above the guides and fascia will always be the same finish as the chosen door finish. The door is ordered using the daylight opening size as the order measurements unlike most other roller garage doors. This means you have to add the width of the 100mm guides either side and the roller hood dimensions to the ordering dimensions when calculating your dimensions overall. e.g. Order width 2250mm gives you a roller door with an overall width of 2450mm (2250 + 100mm + 100mm).
